Boxer Errol Spence Jr. is reportedly in a serious condition after he was rushed to hospital following a horrific car crash. Reports state that the 29-year-old unified welterweight champion was heading to his home in a white Ferrari from a nightclub at around 3 am when he crashed and flipped his vehicle in Dallas.
Spence was reportedly not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and was thrown out of the $300k Ferrari 488 Spider along Riverfront Boulevard on impact. Dallas police and emergency services arrived shortly and the 29-year-old was rushed to the Methodist Dallas Medical Center. Reports state that the boxer is expected to survive. Spence's car is the only one believed to have been involved in the crash.
The Dallas Police department released a statement, saying: "At 2:53am a Ferrari traveling at a high rate of speed northbound in the 500 S. Riverfront Blvd. The Ferrari veered left over the center median onto the southbound lanes and flipped multiple times ejecting the driver who was not wearing a seatbelt," the Daily Mail reported.
